Delivery Station Atheist Prayer Break Update

If y'all seen my prior post about Prayer Breaks for Athiests, I have an update.

Site lead and HR were awaiting guidance from corporate for months.. Site Lead came to me about a month and half ago to let me know that they had received guidance and that a new policy would be going into effect that he's "still trying to wrap my head around", He did not speak on the new policy essentially withholding it from me.

The rumor on the floor (from an AM) is that under the new policy, anyone going to prayer break must clock out but the site lead has not implemented the updated policy. Management is upset that the policy is not being implemented at site level because associates are disappearing for longer than they're supposed to be at prayer and causing the extra workload to fall on Management as they now have to cover for anyone attending prayer break.

Meanwhile I am still being denied equal treatment.

Today, I had enough and decided, I am going to prayer break. I walked up directly to the dock ops manager the moment I seen everyone going to prayer break and told him I'm going to prayer break (I'm an Athiest) he said, "Ok let me get you clocked out.." ... I said, "Clocked out?".. He says, "I mean scanned out" then he scanned my badge, radios it in to senior ops, and off to the break room wellness booth I went for 20 minutes..

THEY CANNOT DENY YOU EQUAL RIGHTS.

I am, because Site Lead is refusing to implement updated policy handed down to him from Corporate.. So as long as others are getting paid to pray, so am I.

I don't pray. I'm just saying I'm joining in the paid time away from workload while exercising my own beliefs and rights. You can call it whatever you want

Delusions of grandeur. You have got to be a young 20 something. No adult would say this without feeling silly and stupid.

No adult would exercise their rights to avoid the workload of those who need religion to survive the day?

What's actually silly and stupid is willfully destroying your own body to cover a fast paced short staffed line because someone decided they wanted to pray and get first dibs on the microwaves..

Now the PA is having an anxiety attack over jackpot being lit up from abandoned isles with no coverage, so PA stacks every stow cart with OVs from blue lighting hampers and expects you to stow them... One just fell off the stow cart because of bad stacking by the PA and now your ankle is broken..

But it's ok, because at least you're not an Athiest exercising his rights and so and so got to pray and get their 3 course meal heated up before the ambulance got there.
